Review of Brussel's Trident Maple Forest 9 Outdoor Bonsai Tree

First off, my true gut feeling on the rating is a three.I am giving it a four because the I think the company is really good, the product was shipped fast and was packed really well.I am not super happy with the Trident Maple Forest but I am not totally disappointed either.I really didn't know what to expect since this item had not been reviewed before, I couldn't find too many photos, and I have never ordered anything that is alive on the internet.

My main disappointment is probably due to my own ignorance with bonsais.I have had a few various bonsais before and have sadly killed them all.I had seen the Trident Forest in a brochure before and really wanted it awhile ago.The idea of a "mini forest" sounded really neat.I also love maple trees so it really seemed perfect.When I received my bonsai today I was a little disappointed when I saw the trees.Basically they look like someone cut tree limbs off a maple tree and put them into a pot.Now, that may be how bonsai trees are made and I just don't know.I thought that maybe these were mini trees that were grown from a seed and pruned and trained to be small.But, as I said, I don't know much about bonsais.I am also disappointed in that I read when making a forest one should really try not to put the trees in any order or try to make them symmetrical.My forest is almost arranged in a perfect oval shape.Also, the largest "tree" is very loose and feels like it may pop out of the soil any moment.So, some of my trees look like a stick off a tree with maybe 10 small leaves on them and the top of the "tree" pruned diagonally.

Now, am I planning on returning the product?No, probably not unless it starts looking sick in the next two weeks or one of the trees falls out of the pot.I think it is a cute bonsai and am hoping I can take really good care of it and get it to grow some more leaves and fill out.To be honest, if I had seen this in a store for 100 dollars I would not have ever considered buying it.

So I am giving it a four because it was shipped fast and packed really well.It only lost about 10 leaves which I think is pretty good.Some of the leaves are wilted but I am assuming it is because of them being in the dark box for a few days.I also don't want to rate the tree too low because I really didn't know what to expect so I want to be fair to the product and company.I also love the leaves that is does have.

I took photos of it packed, me unpacking it, and the tree by itself.I am hoping to post these photos on amazon.I hope this helps you decide if you want one.Like I said, it is small and cute but definitely not like the photo posted on amazon.It is not thick with leaves or stems but this may be due to the season.Oh, and my tallest tree is 13 inches from the soil to the top of the stick.
